The Old Man and the Sea
The Old Man and the Sea is one of Ernest Hemingway's famous novels in the world. Ernest Hemingway was born in Chicago in July 1899. His parents were doctors. He became a journalist after he graduated from high school. In 1918 WWI, Ernest Hemingway took part in America Red Cross Ambulance Corps, and was injured in Italy. Then he traveled to France, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, and Greece. At last he went to Paris and began his writing life. After the WWI, he wrote his famous novels In Our Time in 1925, The Sun Also Rises in 1926, A Farewell to Arms in 1929, For Whom the Bell Tolls in 1940, The Old Man and the Sea in 1952. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1954, and he committed suicide by shooting, because he couldn't tolerate the pain of illness.
The Old Man and the Sea told a story that an old man named Santiago who had not been able to catch any fish for totally eighty-four days. At the beginning, a boy named Monolin stayed with him for a few, but the boy was asked to leave away the old man by child's parents, because they thought the old was not a good fisherman. The old man made the decision that he wanted to go to the farther sea region. He really did it. He drove his little boat to a strange and farther sea region, and he finally fished a big Marlin, but he couldn't take it to the boat. The fish was so powerful and it began to pull the boat. The old man began to fight with the Marlin. After two day, he killed the fish, and bundled the fish on boat, but the boat was attacked by a group of sharks. The old man had to fight with the sharks again and again. When he came back to his village, Most of the Marlin's meat was taken away by the sharks except the bones. The old injured too.
The Old Man and the Sea is a very good novel, I was exciting and shocked when I read it. It is wonderful when I read the chapter that the old man fought with the fish.
Usually, when people finished this masterpiece, they always are fully convinced by the great old man’s determination, courage, and toughness. I have already heard of this masterpiece for many years, peope love it, raise it, and respect it. But when I finished it, at the first moment, I just wonder: Actually, Our human-beings don’t know what we really want, what we dream for, and what we fight for. The problems are always produced by ourselves continuously, then, we try our best to defeat it and even, destroy it. But to the essence, who on earth was defeated till the end? And what’s more, after the conquest, what are we going to do and what can we do?! The essence of our Chinese traditional culture is the affinity while for the American culture it emphasizes the conquest, that’s really totally different, and it’s what we should think over it, only when we understand the meaning of conquest, can we absorb and extend the meaning of our life. If we only focus on the conquest blindly, even it’s a wonderful, splendid and encouraging process; nothing will on our hands at last just as the old man Santiago get nothing but the skeleton. Many people admit and pries this belief that the man is not made for defeat, a man can be destroyed but not defeated, but what about other creatures in the world, to some sense, in the whole universe? No matter what kind of person we are, or how small or humble we are, it doesn’t matter. What matter most is whether we know what we want to purchase through our life. And finally, what impressed me a lot is that child with great naive and loveliness! The child took the beautiful and bright days back for the old man. We human beings are really a kind of strange creature. We can accept death, but when facing the failure, it will call for all of our strength and courage. What’s I want to say at the end of this report is that: don’t hesitate any more! Enjoy yourself and your beautiful, even gray days.
